Plot synopsis: “The film charts Emily’s life, from her youth as a strong-willed schoolgirl through to her increasingly isolated adulthood. It features Emily’s beautiful poetry as an accompaniment to her life story. ”

We’ve got our hands on the first official trailer of A Quiet Passion, the upcoming biography drama movie written and directed by Terrence Davies and starring Cynthia Nixon, Jennifer Ehle, Keith Carradine, Emma Bell, and Duncan Duff:

A QUIET PASSION

Plot synopsis: “A film based on the life and work of the great poet Emily Dickinson. She wrote a poem a day, but only a fraction of her output was published throughout her lifetime. She was extremely shy, but with a wry, lively sense of humor and loved to laugh or to be made to laugh. Her friendships were intense but it was within the family that she found her greatest happiness. Her life is one of quiet dignity. The poetry magnificent. All the terror and beauty of the world distilled down to the quintessence of meaning and expression. She is quite simply one of the world’s greatest poets.”

Emily Dickinson wasn’t a wimpy woman, she was a real feminist! Totally love Cynthia Nixon’s take on the character!

The film has yet to get an official US release date but it will hit UK theaters on November 18, 2016.. :)
